Trial Outcomes

Alcoholism Severity Scale

The alcoholism severity scale measures the severity of a person's dependence to alcohol. The scale ranges from a score of 0 (least severe) to 33 (most severe). The higher the score the worse the dependence. (NCT00680121)
Timeframe: 6 Months

Interventionscores on a scale (Mean)
Control Group14.0
Benfotiamine10.7

Barrett Impulsivity Scale: Total Impulsiveness

Scale measures impulsiveness. It includes 30 items that are scored to yield six first-order factors (attention, motor, self-control, cognitive complexity, perseverance, and cognitive instability impulsiveness) and three second-order factors (attentional, motor, and non-planning impulsiveness). Items are scored on a 4 point scale with 1 point equaling rarely/never up to 4 points equaling almost always/always. Total impulsivity score ranges from 30 (least impulsive) to 120 (most impulsive). The higher the score the higher the level of impulsiveness. (NCT00680121)
Timeframe: 6 Months

Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90): Global Severity Index

The SCL-90 is a brief multidimensional self-report inventory that screens for nine symptoms of psychopathology and provides three global distress indicators. It provides an overview of symptom severity and intensity. The outcome measures psychiatric symptoms using a 30-item scale reported as t-scores relative to a normative population. (NCT00680121)
Timeframe: 6 Months
